From Fusion of the Elements

Reactions to Form Compounds Containing ZintI Anions 10.2.2.3.1. From Fusion of the Elements. 

Direct fusion of the elements yields a number of arsenic sulfides, including AsuS3, AS4S4, As2S3, and As2S , the last two being obtained also by precipitation from arsenic (III) and arsenic (V) solutions, respectively. The disulfide dissolves in alkali sulfide solutions to form diio-arsenites ... 

Haslam et al. [32] reported the determination of Al in polyolefins by AAS. Typical AAS tests on rubber compounds involve several steps. The sample is combusted, and the resulting ash is dissolved in distilled de-ionised water. The solution is then used for AAS [126]. AAS or EDS can also be used for element analysis of filler particles. In order to determine the uniformity of tin compounds in polychloroprene after milling and pressing, Hornsby et al. [127] have ashed various pieces from one composition. After fusion of the residue with sodium peroxide and dissolution in HC1, the Sn content was determined by means of AAS. Typical industrial AAS measurements concern the determination of Ca in Ca stearate, Zn in Zn stearate, Ca- and Zn stearate in PE, Ca and Ti in PE film or Al and V in rubbers. 

The majority of the Universe is made from hydrogen and helium produced during the Big Bang, although some He has been made subsequently. The relative cosmic abundance of some of the elements relevant to the formation of life is given in Table 1.2, with all elements heavier than H, He and Li made as a result of fusion processes within stars, as we shall see later. The cosmic abundance is assumed to be the same as the composition of the Sun. 

To be useful from a CALPHAD point of view, it is mandatory to have a characterisation of the liquid phase, and the insistence on working totally from FP has to be relaxed. The simplest solution is to add data for the melting points and enthalpies of fusion for the elements from conventional CALPHAD sources. As for heat of mixing for the liquid phase, one approximation is to assume it will follow a suitably weighted behaviour of the f.c.c. and b.c.c. phases. This kind of treatment... 

A further method of extraction of the selenium from the mud is based on the solubility of the element in solutions of potassium cyanide, forming selenocyanide. The solution deposits selenium when acidified, and any sulphur is retained in solution as thiocyanic acid.2 Treatment with a solution of an alkali hydroxide, or fusion with sodium carbonate (the latter more especially for the extraction of selenium from the dust of the flues between the pyrites burners and the Glover tower), has also been applied, the mass being extracted with water in the latter case. The resulting aqueous solutions deposit selenium on atmospheric oxidation, whilst any extracted sulphur passes mainly to thiosulphate.3... 

In addition to the numerous compounds reported as a result of the direct union of the elements by fusion, a number have been obtained—by B. Corenwinder, R. Boulouch, A. Seidel, etc.—by crystallization from soln. of phosphorus and sulphur in carbon disulphide. A. Helff said that no compound is formed from soln. of the two elements in carbon disulphide. For A. Delachaux s observations on the production of phosphorus sulphides by the action of hydrogen sulphide or sulphur on phosphine, vide supra.. 

Nucleosynthesis The creation of elements from the fusion of lighter elements during the Big Bang or in the interiors of stars. 

Results indicate that the leachable elements are contained to some extent within a water soluble component in low and high fusion fly ashes. The leachable amounts of each element are in general related to the bulk composition of the elements in the coal from which the fly ash is produced and the size of the fly ash particles. 

The sorbent and leaching characteristics of fly ash can be related to operating temperatures in the boiler and to coal ash compositions that provide low ash fusion temperatures. Boiler temperatures that favor the fusion of the ash and maintain the ash in the fused state reduce the amount of trace elements leached from the fly ash and improve the sorbent characteristics of the fly ash for removal of these elements from ash pond effluents. In addition, the leachable amounts of each of the elements analyzed in this study can be correlated with the fly ash particle area and with their bulk compositions in the original coal. No correlation could be identified between the sorbent characteristics of fly ashes and their particle size and bulk, major, minor and trace elemental compositions, with the exception of the carbon content. Only organic removals, as measured by COD from ash pond effluent could be correlated with the carbon content of the fly ash particles. 

The isolation of an antibody is an extremely useful first step toward understanding the function of the protein to which it binds. scFvs derived from phage antibody libraries have been used in immunofluorescence, immunoprecipitation, fluorescence-activated cell sorting, Western blotting, and inhibition of function studies, both in vivo, in tissue culture cells, and in vitro. In this sense, they can essentially be used in the same way as conventional hybridoma-derived antibodies. They have the advantage, however, that the genes for the variable regions are cloned simultaneously with selection. This allows the fusion of functional elements, such as dimerization domains, effector or detector functions to selected scFvs [38], the re-creation of complete... 

Deuterium (2D) and tritium (3T) are heavier isotopes of hydrogen. The former is stable and makes up about 0.015 per cent of all normal hydrogen. Its physical and chemical properties are slightly different from those of the light isotope Tl For example, in the electrolysis of water H is evolved faster and this allows fairly pure D2 to be prepared. Tritium is a radioactive b-emitter with a half-life of 12.35 years, and is made when some elements are bombarded with neutrons. Both isotopes are used for research purposes. They also undergo very exothermic nuclear fusion reactions, which form the basis for thermonuclear weapons (hydrogen bombs) and could possibly be used as a future energy source.
